expenditure of $63,000 of CPA funds for the eligible portions of the Phase 3 project. The Town will provide a revised version of this project to the CPC. Town planning, as reflected in the 10-10-13 submittal, has envisioned a request to CPC in a later year, for $650,000 to complete Phase 3. \[In the revision, an adjustment of the future amount identified would seemingly be necessary in light of the recognized, traffic-safety aspect of the project.\] FY15 Submittal 5(a), Hastings Park Gazebo Renovations \[Revision date 10-22-13\] A vote on this proposal had been delayed due to a member's request for a breakdown of the amount of $120,000 requested for the project. Members received earlier in January the requested information, provided by Mr. Pinsonneault; it identified 8 component costs totaling $120,000, with sitework $64,000 of this amount. \[This work, as explained at an earlier meeting, is necessary to provide handicap access to the Gazebo.\] Mr. Pinsonneault stated that he had met once with the Historic District Commission, which reacted favorably to the creation of a natural \[soil\] ramp, to provide handicap access to the Gazebo. Another presentation to the Historic District Commission will occur. On a motion duly seconded, CPC members approved by a vote of 7 to 0 an expenditure of $120,000 for the Hastings Park Gazebo Renovation project.

Mr. Eagle then suggested that Rotary could aid in the current project, an eventuality which could reduce the amount of CPA funds expended. Mr. Pinsonneault stated that he will follow-up with Rotary on this matter.

The BOS approved the new figures at its meeting on December 16, 2013. The new total is $8,677,400 and the requested CPA share $8,241,350. CPC received 2 pages of tables showing the components of the project and their costs; the 2
